Wikipedia's etymology names a specific cartoon film[edit]
To quote Wolf-whistling: "The name comes from the Wolf character in the popular 1943 Tex Avery cartoon Red Hot Riding Hood who whistles in this way at sexy female character Red. He whistles at her in several other subsequent cartoons. The term appears in North American newspapers as early as 1943. It appears in British newspapers from 1949 onwards."
If this is true, we should mention the film too. Equinox ◑ 00:44, 27 September 2021 (UTC)
